A unique guide to managing cranial neuropathy cost effectively-from
diagnosis to treatment! Cranial neuropathy can be a symptom of a
devastating, life-threatening condition or a benign disease with
spontaneous full recovery in a majority of patients. While testing
options are available, they can be costly and sometimes may be
unnecessary. Cost-Effective Evaluation and Management of Cranial
Neuropathy by Seilesh C. Babu, Neal M. Jackson, and an impressive
team of multidisciplinary contributors reflect decades of
experience. Combining evidence-based medicine from the literature
with years of firsthand expertise, this reader-friendly book offers
cost-effective methodology and in-depth insights for evaluating and
managing cranial neuropathy. The textbook provides a clear-cut
approach and practical algorithm for cranial nerve evaluation and
management of neuropathy. Contributions from neurotologists,
neurosurgeons, rhinologists, ophthalmologists, head and neck cancer
surgeons, laryngologists, and speech language pathologists ensure a
well-rounded and comprehensive approach. The text begins with an
introduction to cost-effective management in medicine, laying a
foundation for the book's primary focus. It concludes with cranial
neuropathy radiology considerations and a helpful cost-effective
summary with key points. Key Features: Unique algorithms provide
clinicians with simple-to-follow, cost-effective methods for
managing complex disorders that result in facial nerve weakness,
hearing loss, and swallowing problems Pathology-specific chapters

First published almost 17 years ago and in demand throughout,
Evaluating Voice Therapy: Measuring the Effectiveness of
Treatment was one of the first books to address the need for a
robust evidence base for the treatment of functional voice
disorders.
Now re-titled, and with a team of expert collaborators, this
second edition addresses the major advances in the evaluation of
treatment of a range of voice disorders. The book is almost doubled
in size and still retains the practical appeal and hands-on value
of its predecessor. The book is organized so that voice clinicians
and researchers will be able to quickly locate and understand the
evidence base for specific client groups. A number of core chapters
are retained and re-written and there are five major chapters that
identify, summarise and critically appraise the
literature pertaining to voice therapy efficacy for functional
voice disorders, vocal nodules, organic voice disorders, unilateral
vocal fold paralysis and voice disorders related to Parkinson's
Disease.
'This remarkable book serves several purposes. It presents
evidence upon which treating therapists may formulate session plans
with maximal cost efficacy, while pointing the way to evaluation of
the relevant outcomes, in the context of what is already known...
[it] offers a comprehensive toolkit: literature appraisal; skills
acquisition; highlights of key existing papers; and benchmarks
against which to assess one's own practice.'
From the Foreword by Janet A Wilson, B.Sc., MD, FRCS(Ed),
FRCS(Eng), FRCSLT(Hon)
'...an invaluable resource.... It provides an extremely logical
and coherent approach to this topic [and it] provides a wealth of
clearly presented information about the current state of the
evidence for voice therapy effectiveness...'
From the Foreword by Robert E. Hillman, Ph.D.
'Voice therapy has come of age, and this book, as well as clearly
laying out ways of treatment and research, is a wonderful
celebration of this moment in time. I know both serious and casual
readers will quickly join the party'.
From the Foreword by Martin Birchall, FRCS.
State-of-the-art PRP and microneedling aesthetic procedures from
internationally renowned experts Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and
microneedling are two increasingly popular off-label modalities
intended to harness the body's self-rejuvenation and repair
abilities. PRP and Microneedling in Aesthetic Medicine is the most
comprehensive, clinically informed resource available today on
these two techniques. Internationally renowned, minimally invasive
facial aesthetics experts Amelia K. Hausauer, Derek H. Jones, and a
cadre of esteemed contributors have written the definitive guide on
this topic. Readers will learn how to evaluate and critically
appraise various approaches and leverage evidence-based methods to
guide best practices. Divided into three parts, the first chapters
on PRP and microneedling lay a solid foundation, covering basic
science, mechanism of action, preparation, and practical
considerations. Each chapter includes in-depth discussion,
technical pearls, and practical tips for incorporating specific
techniques into clinical practice. Part three focuses on special
topics including applications and safety in skin of color,
combination therapies, and managing complications. Key Highlights
Applications for PRP including chronic wound healing, scars and
scar revision, aesthetic rejuvenation and augmentation, and
alopecia and hair restoration Microneedling for the treatment of
acne and other scars, striae, melasma and dyschromia, skin
rejuvenation, hyperhidrosis, and photodamage The concurrent use of
PRP and microneedling; PRP and laser resurfacing, rhitidectomy, and
ultrasound; and microneedling with radiofrequency and drug-assisted
delivery About 100 images elucidate impacted anatomy and
techniques; and 10 short online videos provide enhanced procedural
guidance This is an essential resource for practitioners and
training providers in dermatology and plastic surgery, particularly
those specializing in facial and oculoplastic sub-specialties. It
is a must-have for all aesthetic physicians seeking to expand their

Vocal fold scar remains one of the most demanding and, in some
ways, frustrating challenges of laryngology and voice therapy.
Treatments for this complex condition are inconsistent and often
produce suboptimal results. Yet, while hopes for full recovery
remain slim, surgical methods and improving technologies, along
with improved therapy techniques, have combined to yield better and
better outcomes; and further advances are on the horizon. In this
new book, Drs Moore and Sataloff have collaborated with world
leaders in laryngology and speech-language pathology to compile the
latest information on the pathophysiology of vocal fold scar,
treatments, procedures and, importantly, look at the promising
directions in research. The authors introduce the various causes
and sequelae of scar, examine anatomy and pathophysiology, and take
the reader through diagnostic procedures. Thereafter, they review
pre-operative therapy options and providing practical guidance on
surgical methods including medialization, techniques for freeing
the epithelium, management of sulcus, grafting, and the use of
lasers.The book discusses tissue engineering and newer treatment
options, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming
growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1). The book summarises the state of
the art in diagnosis and treatment of vocal fold scar and should be
valuable for any clinician who cares for the patient with this
vexing problem.
Highly Commended by the BMA Medical Book Awards for Surgery! The
gliding nature and dynamic planes of the face present one of the
great challenges in aesthetic surgery and volume replenishment is a
key component of the treatment algorithm. Facial Volumization: An
Anatomic Approach by Jerome Lamb and Christopher Surek masterfully
bridges the gap between the anatomy lab and injection clinic. It
synthesizes a large body of facial anatomy publications into a
"one-stop shop" covering a wide array of facial procedures - from
the chin and perioral - to the midface and temple. In addition to
vascular injury, lymphatic disruption can play a critical role in
suboptimal aesthetic facial volumization outcomes. Chapter 2, The
Lymphatic Anatomy of the Lower Eyelid and the Malar Region of the
Face discusses new state-of-the art facial lymphatic discoveries.
Key Features Numerous beautiful, full-page color illustrations
systematically reveal each layer of the face - from deep to
superficial - taking readers on a unique journey through the 3-D
architecture of complex facial anatomy. The left side of each page
features a written synopsis of the vascular, muscular, ligament,
and adipose components of specific layers paired with cadaveric
dissection photographs. More than 20 high-definition live patient
injection videos posted in the Thieme online Media Center include
